"Athena"
“Athena”
From the Artist:
Story behind the works:
''The William Morris collection stemmed from my love of patterns, in particular Persian carpets which patterns have been said to influence William Morris's work.
Many of us will connect with the patterns as we grew up seeing them among our homes and in recent centuries. William had mastered his work for designing wallpaper in the 1870's and became very popular.
This piece is named ''Athena'' after the Olympian goddess of wisdom and war.
I think you will agree with me that the horses powerful, playful rearing composition brings a sense of energetic movement that works well with meaning of the goodness name "Athena". The butterflies are to represent creativity and transformation.
If you look closely you will notice the patterns emerging from within the horse and the butterflies. This work has been very challenging yet rewarding and I look forward to creating more of the collection."

This work is printed using a fine art printer, on an archival, matte, velvet fine art paper, I decided to change the print paper to a softer watercolour texture to really bring out the deep tones. The paper is very similar to a hot-pressed watercolour sheet which has a smooth soft velvet texture.
Every piece has an identifying number and is hand-signed on the front. Limited edition - once sold out it won't be available again.
Mounted with a backboard and cellophane cover, this piece is ready to be gifted or popped straight into a frame.

✨ About the limited edition prints:
Each print comes mounted in an acid-free archival mount, with a backboard and a protective cover. Each print has a handwritten identifying number out of the total amount released and is hand signed by the artist.
Printed on a higher quality thicker archival, matte, velvet fine art paper. Here you can really see the difference between a standard print and a fine art print. The limited-edition run offers a gallery-quality experience.
✨ How are fine art prints created:
All prints are printed using a fine art printer, on fine art paper. The inks used to create this work are special art printing inks, not your standard printer ink, my prints have enhanced print longevity, they will last approximately 200 years in a photo album, 80 years on display behind normal glass in sunlight before they start to fade!
(Please look at the texture and detail on the images, it's such a beautiful fine art paper.)
A2 prints will have a longer lead time as they require printing from a fine art lab in London UK. ( Around 1 to 2 weeks)
